Sorry about the noob questions. I knew this years ago.
You have to restore it through something like phpMyAdmin.
I can't find it though.

They should be able to tell you.

When you do manage to get into it, you'll find phpMyAdmin on the home page of CPanel. Type it in search if you have to so you can find it easily.

Yes, that's because the table already exists. Reading the errors is usually helpful.
